Definitions
- This invention relates to electrical ly control led locks of the type in which a deadlocking element which forms part of the locking mechanism is movable by means of an electrical ly operated control device between an operative position in which the lock mechanism is deadlocked and an inoperative position in which the lock mechanism is freed to enable a latch or bolt element to be withdrawn.
- Such locks are hereinafter referred to as electrically control led locks of the kind specified.
- electrically controlled locks of the kind specified incorporate a solenoid within the lock housing which is mounted on or in a door, so that it is necessary to provide electric wiring on or in the door and a f lexible conductor or conducting hinge connected to the external wiring. This is undesirable for a number of reasons, including diff iculty of instal lation, reliability and safety.
- One way of avoiding this requirement is by providing the electrical ly operated control device on the door frame in association with a keep in which the latch or bolt element is received instead of on the door in association with the locking mechanism which controls the bolt or la ⁇ ch element.
- the deadlocking element in an electrical ly control led lock of the kind specified the deadlocking element is coupled to the electrically operated control device magnetical ly so that said control device can be instal led in the door frame, thereby obviating the need for electrical wiring in or on the door itself.
- the dead-locking element is connected to a linkage system which includes a permanent magnet disposed at an edge of the lock housing which, in use, will register with an edge of the associated door frame, and the electrically operated control device includes a solenoid for mounting within the door frame in register with said permanent magnet.
- F1GURES I and 2 respectively illustrate a lock and keep combination in its locked condition and in its unlocked condition.
- a lock assembly 10 is adapted in conventional manner to be mounted within the thickness of a door (not shown) and an associated keep assembly 20 is likewise adapted to be mounted in a door frame (not shown).
- the lock assembly 10 comprises a generally conventional housing 1 I with a face plate I l a which is adapted to be mounted at the outer edge of a hinged door.
- the housing 1 1 contains a latch 12 which is biased outwardly by means of an associated spring 13, and the latch 12 can be withdrawn manually by means of a lever handle 14 mounted on a square section spindle 15 which carries a collar 16 having an arm 17 arranged to engage an abutment 18 provided on the latch 12 whereby operation of the lever handle 14 withdraws the latch 12 against the force of spring 13 in conventional manner.
- the keep assembly 20 includes a mounting plate 21 and a recess 22 for the reception of the protruding end portion 12a of the latch 12, the mounting plate 21 being adapted for mounting on an edge face of a door frame in register with the face plate I la of the lock assembly 10.
- lock assembly 10 may also include any conventional key-operated locking mechanism for dead-locking the bolt 12 or a separate dead-bolt if required.
- the lock assembly 10 in accordance with the invention also incorporates an electrically controlled dead-lock mechanism 30 which comprises a pivotally mounted dead-locking element 31 which is movable into a position ⁇ as shown in Figure I ) in register with an abutment 19 provided on the collar 16 so as to prevent rotation of the col lar in the direction required to withdraw the latch 12 from the recess 22.
- the dead-locking element 31 is movable by means of an electrically operated control device 35 provided on the keep assembly 20 as shown, or alternatively on a separate assembly adjacent thereto.
- the pivoted dead-locking element 31 is connected by means of a transverse link 32 to a pivoted lever 33 which carries a strong permanent magnet 34 adjacent to the face plate I l a, which is made of a non-magnetic material.
- the control device 35 comprises a solenoid 36 with a soft iron core 37 arranged (when the door is closed) in alignment with one end of the permanent magnet 34 as shown in Figure I .
- both the face plate I l a and the mounting plate 21 are made from a material which transmits magnetic flux efficiently so that it is not necessary to form apertures therein for this purpose.
- the solenoid 36 is not energised and the magnet 34 is attracted to the soft iron core 37.
- the lever 33 also carries a further permanent magnet 38 which is attracted towards a f ixed steel post 39 whereby the linkage system is returned to, and maintained in, the position il lustrated in Figure I after the door has been opened, as hereinafter described, and after the lever handle 14 has been released.
- the magnet 38 could be attached to the dead-locking element 31 or another part of the linkage system for inter-action with a suitably positioned steel post.
- the magnet 38 could be replaced by a fixed permanent magnet which interacts with a magnetiseable component carried on or afforded by part of the linkage system.
- the dead-locking element 31 is moved to the position illustrated in Figure 2, and for this purpose the solenoid 36 is energised by any appropriate electrical device.
- a key-pad which requires a predetermined code number to be entered, a magnetic card reader or a manually operable switch at a remote location, all represented diagrammatically as a switch Sw in the drawings.
- the permanent magnet 34 will be repelled with the result that the lever 33 pivots away from the face plate I J ci, causing the dead-Iockfng element 31 to pivot away from the abutment 19, thereby freeing the collar [6 to enable the lever handle 14 to be turned to withdraw the latch 12.
- magnet 34 must be sufficient to overcome the attractive force between the magnet 38 and the adjacent post 39, but this can readily be achieved by selection of the relative strength of the magnets and the leverage obtained due to the spacings of the magnets 34 and 38 from the pivot point of the lever 33.
- the lock assembly includes a latch 12, it will be appreciated that the latter may be replaced by a bolt, or that a separate bolt with an associated key-operable mechanism may be provided.
- the permanent magnet 34 is repelled by the soft iron core 37 in the illustrated embodiment to move the dead-locking element 31 into its inoperative position, in some arrangements it may be appropriate for the permanent magnet to be attracted towards the core for this purpose.
- the solenoid is normally de-energised to allow the dead-locking element 31 to remain in its inoperative position when the door is shut
- a solenoid could be energised with opposite polarity so as to attract the permanent magnet until such time as the door is to be opened.
- the switch Sw could be a change ⁇ over switch instead of a make and break switch.
- the switch Sw as illustrated need not be a simple switch, but could be afforded by the contacts of a relay or by an appropriate solid state device.
- the dead-locking mechanism 30 may operate to lock the handle 14 on one side only of the door so that for normal exit or emergency escape purposes the lock can always be released manual ly from the other side by the operation of the handle which is not coupled to the lever handle 14.
- the invention can be applied to any conventional form of door lock by the provision of a dead-locking element which is movable into a position such as to hold a bolt or latch element against withdrawal from its projected position, the dead-locking element being movable in a consequence of magnetic force exerted on a permanent magnet which is movably mounted within the lock assembly, the required magnetic force being derived from a control device mounted in or adjacent to the keep assembly in the door frame.
- a control device is most conveniently in the form of an electro-magnet, it wil l be appreciated that it may also take the form of a mechanical ly movable permanent magnet which is displaceable into such a position as to interact with the permanent magnet in the lock assembly in the required manner.
